The acquisitions follow a franchise agreement between real estate investment company Aprirose and Hilton

The hotels will be managed by RBH – formerly Redefine BDL Hotels – and are located in Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford, Glasgow, Cambourne and Forest Pines (Yorkshire). The hotels are expected to welcome their first guests later this year.

Helder Pereira, CEO of RBH, said: “We are looking forward to building our already strong working relationship with Hilton, by welcoming five more DoubleTree by Hilton properties to our growing portfolio, in addition to DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh City Centre.

“The five hotels in question are fine examples of upscale, full-service properties, and we look forward to offering our expertise in operating each one to give our guests the best possible experience under a globally-recognised brand.”
